Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.5k
Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with youin1.5k

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in48.9k
Thanks! Hopefully the finished one I come up with has everyone enjoying it!

Hello! Took a while to get a new update going on here. I've been working on it in my spare time. Now that vacation has arrived, I'll get to dive into this more. Hoping to get some feedback from people who have bothered to read this far.
First up. Just a semi-clean version of the design I like. I want to make some more changes, and also use this to create some color comps. For now, I tried to encorporate design elements into the armor, specifically things related to hearts, life support, blood, tubes, some kanji, vials, etc. I want to drive home the theme of heart and blood.
Next up are some head comps. I did.. hm, I think 24 of these. I did some quick sculpts in zbrush, and then painted over. I believe I did quick 8 sculpts, and then 3 variations of each. I then arranged them onto some sheets, choosing my favorite of eacha s the focus, as well as a quick front view. I am ultimately probably going to focus on asymmetry, but for now I just went with what was quickest. Design themes I want to include is flesh, blood, veins, tendrils, and some scaring. Also tubes and whatnot. Most of his entire head was replaced along with his arm, so there's not much left of what used to be there.
Thanks for looking! Feedback and opinions are desired!
Hello! Sorry about the delay of posting. I wasn't able to work on this guy until today. I did some sketches to refine the designs a bit further and to prep it for some simple sculpting. I made some notes on the actual image as well.
I am struggling a bit with how I want to approach the color of the armor. I know for certain that I want the fleshy part to be a crimson or maybe a slight purple, with a bit of blue and yellow here and there, but the armor is more challenging. I think about hospital equipment as a good source of inspiration, and they tend to be whites, grays, etc. I am thinking of going that route. I also wanted to add a few different colors to the various vials on his body to bring more color in. I am wondering if perhaps that is too much? Feedback very much desired!
I am adding this note here so I remember later. Some feedback from someone on a discord server mentioned the legs being something they're not a fan of. "Something other than the twisting plates would be welcome. Something that fits the torso plating." So I plan to do a few more sketches of those too.
Wow, this is great! You've got some good stuff here, look forward to the final!
Managed to get some more work done today.
For this one, I took some advice and redesigned the armor to make it read a bit better, and to have some better flow. I also knocked back a few areas too, as it was getting busy.
I did a front, side, and back view of the creature anatomy (I didn't flesh out the back view, so there wasn't much point in posting it.
keep your good work bro ! Really amezaed by number of designs you've developed 
I'm not a color specialist but maybe try making armor in shades of black and add some sort of light from all those blood conteiners ? Yoou know making all this flesh glow by the hyper energized blood while transforming his arm into wapon could look cool 
for me anyway
Black works for me better I think
Hey guys!
Another update! I've been building this guy a bit in Zbrush for some posing/lighting reference. I'll post that later if anyone wants to see. But aside from that I did a bunch of thumbnails for the composition and really hope to get some peoples opinions. Either of what they like, or potential in something they see, etc. I think I like 14 the most, but it changes when I look again. I am too close to it!
The main story I want to tell with the piece is him using his ability. So he JUST ate a heart or blood and his limb is changing/just changed. A few of these have him with dead or defeated sentai rangers, but I don't have a lot of time so I may not add too much of them (although I suspect they will be background elements).
1st or 14th or maybe 8th ?
Although others could be nice as well !
Good luck choosing.
Heyo, another update! I keep making some changes to the environment. I don't want it to compete with the character when I'm done, so I think I will be simplying it altogether. I'll put some more detail into the sky, foreground and rubble. Then I need to tweak and refine the character further (it's not finished by any means). Any feedback is always welcome!
I love this!
Can't wait to see all the nice specular fleshy details 🤘
I agree with @grawis
Have you tried experimenting with the black suit?
I think that will bring out the blood n all quite well. Not to mention his head too.
Thanks a ton, Nevs! I really gotta push more elements as I go. I did consider the black armor but after getting a bunch of opinions, people favored white. I did too, making me think of hospital colors. But I may do an alternate one later!
That's Awesome!!
This will look insane for sure! 🤘😎🤘
Bring on the artistic gore. This piece deserves it.
